Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 101 [Eastern counterattack, only fast not to break]

The Eastern Star team replaced Dwight Howard with "Shark" O'Neal.O'Neill was not reconciled. He thought that one day he would be overwhelmed by a newcomer. That person might be Yao Ming or Howard, but he never thought of Hayes' name. It is a shame for Hayes if he can't completely defeat Hayes.

However, the East can no longer give him time to prove himself, and the West has shown momentum. If they do not make adjustments, they may lose in one game.

"Dwight, you and Chris (Bosh) must control the backcourt rebounds, counterattack immediately, don't wait for someone to get in position, as fast as you can, and the outside players attack directly when they have the opportunity. Personal ability." Eddie Jordan said: "Play more flexibly, use your speed to overwhelm them, Dwight, you are the key, use your speed to get rid of Yao Ming."

Although the cooperation of the All-Star Game is not tacit, but the lineup is luxurious, and there are a lot of superstars.Therefore, in the offensive tactics, whether to use the bulldozer-style offensive method inside or the bomber group on the outside is the main way for the coach to decide.

Peripheral scoring machines are everywhere. Arenas, James, and Wade are all top offensive players in the league. In terms of inside players, although there are only Dwight Howard and Chris Bosh, they are also top-notch offensive machines in the NBA.

It can be said that outside players are more famous than inside players, but the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting rate is an unchanging truth, and the outside attack is related to the player's state and feel to a certain extent.In the end, Eddie Jordan didn't arrange tactics at all, but only made a general fast break, allowing the players to adjust themselves and play freely.There is no star here who is willing to be a foil for others. They are all players who need to attack with the ball. How to distribute the ball is a headache.

Sometimes, having too many stars is not necessarily a good thing.

The West did not adjust the lineup. D'Antoni said: "Chuck, your switch just now is very timely. If they replace Dwight in a while, you will return to the small forward position to stare at LeBron. Kevin (Garnett) and Yao are in charge of the interior together. .On offense, the pick-and-roll is opened up. You are all good at isolating, attracting double-teams and passing the ball."

The game restarts.

The Eastern star serves, Bosh picks and rolls, Wade bypasses Kobe, and runs to the middle to attract Hayes to help defend.At this time, James hit the bottom line from the right side, Wade hit the ground and passed the ball, James dunked the ball into the basket with both hands after receiving the ball. 18 to 10.

James' momentum was comparable to the firing of a human cannon, and Yao Ming didn't dare to block the shot.

To defend James, you can't relax for a moment.Most of his offense has to go to the basket. As long as he is guarded outside, the threat is much less.But this is not playing the Cavaliers, and Wade cannot be defended alone.As long as we help defend, there will inevitably be gaps.

McGrady dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Garnett went to the high post to catch the ball, and all three players except Yao Ming started to run.Garnett singled Bosh, feinted for a while, and when he turned around, Wade came around from the side and broke the basketball. Wade made a one-stop attack to the frontcourt. It was given to Bosh in the back row, and Bosh dunked and scored two points, 18 to 12.

It is very rare for Garnett to be counterattacked by an opponent stealing the ball. However, today his opponent is not an ordinary person, but the Flash.

After replacing Howard, the Eastern Stars speeded up.With Yao Ming, the western star is immediately in a passive position.

If Jeff Van Gundy is the coach, he can rely on perfect tactical skills and positional offense to change this unfavorable situation.But the All-Star game pursues a fast-paced offense. In 2006, Pistons coach Saunders tortured the audience with defense. Therefore, this All-Star game did not choose the coach based on the team's record, but directly looked for the best player. of two coaches.

The East is very good at counterattacking, but D'Antoni is a little bit painful. He doesn't like to play positional warfare. With Yao Ming, he must play positional warfare.He can only leave all three of the Rockets on the field and let the players adjust freely.

Hayes made a pick-and-roll for Tracy McGrady, and the latter suddenly scored for Garnett. The "Wolf King" didn't feel very good under Bosh's defense today, and missed another shot.Both of them are thin and tall, with super long wingspan and strong athletic ability, and they restrain each other.

James scored the rebound, the East counterattacked, and Arenas also showed off.He dribbled the ball in disguise, flashed a space enough for him to shoot, took off one step away from the three-point line, and threw the ball lightly. After landing, Arenas immediately raised his arms.

With a sound of "shua", the basketball was hollowed into the net. 18 to 15.The Eastern District played a 7-0 spurt.

The West fell into a strange circle of fighting alone. Yao Ming turned around and missed a jumper. Bosh took the rebound. The ball was thrown and the ball went in.

Kobe fouled, Wade added a free throw, and the score became 18-18.

The Eastern Stars used the easiest way to overwhelm the Western defense.The stars are all masters of chaotic combat, the kind of super players who can solve battles with one blow.

The West is not good at this.The Big Three of the Rockets are used to playing team basketball. When the opponent counterattacks, Yao Ming is always left behind. When the opponent scores a goal, his inside barrier has not yet returned to the penalty area.

The West Stars requested a substitution.Up and down, Marion, Stoudemire, Duncan, and Parker replaced the Rockets' Big Three and "Wolf King" Garnett.

The East also replaced James, Wade, Arenas, and Bosh, and replaced Chauncey Billups, Hamilton, Vince Carter, and Jermaine O'Neal.

When Carter played, he immediately received warm applause from the fans. After the Canadian trapeze moved to the Nets, he often scored some unbelievable goals.In the first half of the first quarter, the two sides played more than fiercely, but not exciting enough.Except for Hayes and O'Neal's matchup, there were no particularly exciting goals, and fans hoped that Carter could change all that.

As for the West, the support was halved after the substitution because Duncan played.In the All-Star Game, "Stone Buddha" is synonymous with boredom.

Duncan can't perform well, but to win, he will be the main force on any team.D'Antoni arranged for Duncan and Stoudemire to form a twin tower to attack the inside, while others looked for opportunities to shoot.

In the commentary, Smith said: "The Western Conference is playing a bit monotonous at the moment. Both sides are playing with a different lineup. I don't know what will happen next."

"D'Antoni is a good coach, but he is used to fast breaks and doesn't know how to use Yao Ming. Now that he has replaced the Suns with two generals, it should be better. It's a pity that Nash is not here, otherwise the West's offense will be much sharper." Barker Leigh looked at the technical statistics and said, "Both teams have their shortcomings. The Eastern Conference has a lot of outside players, but only four inside players. The West is just the opposite, full of big inside players."

Smith said: "Height is not a problem. The main reason is that there is no real point guard in the West. Iverson is good at scoring. Parker is the guard who scored the most inside this season. He is also good at breakthroughs and not good at assists."

"Hayes can actually play point guard. He played against the Clippers and it worked well. But today James is here. If both play point guard, the audience can watch them wrestling in the backcourt." Johnson laughed and said, "It's hard to guard against swingers of this size. Unfortunately, the two meet together, which restricts the opponent's performance. Charles, you said that the two of them are lifelong rivals, and I completely agree."

Smith added: "I think the Eastern Conference's substitution is a bit early. In fact, the outside line can play for a while. The opponent's substitution may not be able to limit their offense. Arenas is in good condition. He should stay on the court and shoot more three-pointers. , It is estimated that the coach had selfish intentions and wanted him to save his energy to play in the regular season, so he was replaced. Butler has not played yet."

Johnson laughed and said: "Hahaha, when it comes to three-pointers, I think of Arenas' three-pointer yesterday. The combined points of him and Hayes are the same as Jones, who was eliminated in the preliminaries."

Miller also laughed and said, "That was definitely a farce. Hayes stole the limelight this weekend, but it's a pity that he is very difficult to play today."

"That's not necessarily the case. Isn't there still a pick-and-roll? Whether Chuck can play well depends on how D'Antoni arranges it. I think Chuck is the best core among the western stars. He should play power forward. If only he It is a waste of talents to be a blue-collar guarding James." The person who is most optimistic about Hayes is always Barkley.

Like Barkley said, Hayes also hopes to return to the power forward position.Today he is playing small forward differently than when he was in the Rockets. No one gave him a pick-and-roll. It is difficult to think about James without a pick-and-roll.If it is a strong attack, the effect will not be good, so he can only pass the ball after one hand.

In the past few minutes, he has been playing very uncomfortable, feeling like he has nowhere to use his strength.

Can I just be a blue-collar who defends the opponent's arrows?If you use me as the core of the offense, I can also score in singles, and I can also attract defenses to create opportunities for teammates.

Hayes knew very well that it was entirely Yao Ming's problem that the score was overtaken during this period.Yao Ming can play well against a team with a tall center, but if the opponent plays with speed, Yao Ming can easily drag down the team's defense.

In this game, if he is allowed to play inside, Hayes is confident that he will play better than Yao Ming.However, it is difficult for the coach to let him go inside again. Now Duncan is very strong on the field, and Stoudemire is not a vegetarian. Nowitzki and Boozer are still sitting on the field eager to try.There are too many big guys.

The rookie game scored 101 points, and Hayes' mentality has also undergone some changes.He's starting to feel good about having the whole team around him.It is depressing to be able to return someone else's wedding dress.

In this section, Hayes did not get another chance to play, and the scores of the two teams were also very close.The Eastern stars relied on the good touch of Billups and Hamilton to overtake the score 31 to 34.
